FDF has launched its Concentric FluidPower Training System – PowerZoneTM.

The Ultimate Circuit For POWER ENDURANCE TRAINING

PowerZoneTM is a concentric circuit training system designed for all commercial applications. PowerZoneTM

brings together six complementary fluid resistance machines that combine strength, endurance and power training into one. The PowerZoneTM pieces form the basis for the ultimate circuit workout and include:

POWERCUBE • POWERUBE • POWERCLIMB • POWERROW • POWERPRESS • POWERERG

WHAT IS POWERZONETM?

PowerZoneTM machines provide concentric resistance only; the resistance is applied in the drive phase of a movement, while the recovery phase is virtually resistance free. An exerciser can explode with ballistic movements and not have to deal with any recovery phase consequences. This could be compared to an Olympic weightlifter who applies large effort through the drive (lift) phase and then drops the weight.

Concentric Fluid Power Training is perfect for High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT). PowerZoneTM machines can provide both the load for the explosive intense effort phase and the lighter rhythmic recovery phase. HIIT helps build muscle mass and strength, burn calories rapidly for weight loss and conditions the cardiovascular system in a very time efficient manner.

While HIIT has been very successful in a group training format, PowerZoneTM takes this to a new level.

WHAT IS CONCENTRIC FLUID POWER TRAINING?

2

CONCENTRICConcentric muscle contractions are where the muscles are contracting while shortening, as in any lift, pull or push. An Eccentric muscle contraction is where the muscles are contracting while lengthening, as in the recovery phase of any lift, pull or push.

The reason Olympic weightlifters, used as an example above, drop the weight is because there is too much risk (and no benefit) associated in dealing with the lowering of such a great weight. The lifter would compromise many joints, ligaments and muscles to control the weight back to its starting position.

The patented Fluid Resistance technology of all PowerZoneTM machines allows for concentric training to be completed at virtually any speed because the fluid tank does not develop any internal momentum. The exerciser can “explode” with power, then repeat and repeat because the recovery phase allows the exerciser to safely return to their starting position.

TM

PowerZoneTM can integrate with a larger group training structure or stand on its own as a complete system. Instructors or individuals can create work out routines to deliver the best training responses possible. Training everyone in their specific power zone has never been easier or more fun.

The PowerZoneTM Monitor will guide you during your workout to make sure you stay in zone and achieve your goals.

PowerZoneTM offers something for every commercial facility. Suitable for Defence Forces, PT Centres, Apartment Complexes, Corporate Offices, Health Clubs and Recreation Centres, anywhere that needs compact complete commercial grade fitness equipment.

FLUID TECHNOLOGY

Moving explosively with weights is counterproductive for most training purposes. Moving weights at higher speeds means the weight develops momentum. This momentum results in a reduction of the load through the later stages of the specific movement. FDF’s patented Fluid Technology, applied to PowerZoneTM machines, develops virtually zero momentum. The water resistance twin tank technology provides a consistent load at virtually any speed.

Low momentum is often associated with uneven and jerky resistance, the Fluid Technology Tank completely alleviates this to produce the smoothest feel, the coolest low volume sound and a great look.

POWERPower is the combination of strength and speed. It is measured in watts.

With no momentum being developed in our tank, regardless of speed, and since the tank has a large range of resistance, the power output possible is immense. There is enough power available to handle the training regime of any athlete, while the increments are so small and the load so smooth it can handle the most deconditioned individual looking to improve their overall health.

UNIQUE SELLING POINTS

Power CubeTM is an effective posterior chain and functional trainer, working the biggest and strongest muscles in the body at a high volume, without overloading. The foundation of Power CubeTM is the deadlift, making it a great core trainer and accessible to any ability.

Designed to support complex lifting routines, consisting of a sequence of several exercises, Power CubeTM removes the weak muscular or mechanical link of traditional weight training to provide a Progressive Concentric Load CycleTM to the targeted muscles. You can train at peak power throughout the entire range of motion.

+ Combines a huge range of movement options into one machine.

+ Doubles as a functional and strength power trainer providing the same benefits you would get from a set of kettlebells, Olympic weights, squat rack, and cable pulleys.

+ Works on both the upper and lower extremities and facilitates functional patterns like diagonal, chopping and swinging motions.

+ Suitable for rehabilitation and sports applications.

+ Trains lifts that complement rowing strength, as well as supports Olympic style movements without the technical skill and risk of injury, e.g. lifting with upward acceleration of a heavyweight without supporting the force of its return on the way back down.

+ The level of resistance is managed at three separate pulley points as well as the tank lever, providing four points of adjustment.

+ Instantaneous catch, no lag or slip. Apply power, feel resistance.

+ Dead lift - high pull - bent row - high curl

+ High curl - high pull - bent row - dead lift

Power ErgTM is an anterior chain and functional trainer, supporting full body pulling movements that combine body weight and fluid resistance to achieve an impact free workout. The adjustable Fluid Force allows the user to create greater resistance throughout the entire range of motion while training at peak power.

Targeting the core, triceps, lats, glutes and quads, the design of Power ErgTM creates an inertial mass that is not only influenced by Fluid Force but also by the load of your own body weight as you push up from a squat position.


+ Independent arms with articulating heads to allow diagonal, chopping and swinging motions.

+ Supports alternating, symmetrical, and diagonal arm pulls.

+ Works on both the upper and lower extremities – overcoming body mass resistance on the way up for a more taxing workout.

Power ClimbTM is a fluid resistance climbing machine, challenging users to a high intensity workout with tremendous full body muscle activation. Founded on compound, multi-joint movement the Power ClimbTM builds core stability and demands contralateral integration of the upper and lower extremity.

Unlike any other climber on the market, Power ClimbTM keeps the user’s centre of gravity in a neutral position, encouraging and reinforcing good form such that knees and feet are stabilised and weight is stacked through the heels to demand the muscles, not the joints, do the work.


+ FDF’s famous patented twin tank offers 10 killer levels of adjustable Fluid Force.

+ The benefit of fluid resistance means that as you accelerate the water in the tank it is dynamic so no matter the user’s power input or fatigue they will continue to train at peak power.

+ Functions as a stepper or whole body climber with a smooth and constant resistance throughout the entire range of motion, unlike mechanically induced, chain driven machines.

+ Works both the lower and upper extremities – integrating multiple muscle groups to build core stability.

+ Provides a superior cardiovascular workout through engagement of the whole body, without placing strain on the joints.

+ Stepper

+ Whole body climber – contralateral movement

A concentric power training device, Power PressTM is a fluid resistance squat press machine. Supporting full body power training movements that engage most major muscle groups in a single motion, this is the perfect trainer to practice controlled Olympic style lifts without the risk of getting hurt, overwhelmed or intimidated.

By eliminating the eccentric phase of the lift, Power PressTM safely trains technically challenging exercises, such as an isolated military press, ensuring strong form at peak power. The beauty of FDF’s patented Fluid Force means that after the user drives up and reaches the top of a movement, there is no weight coming back down – it disappears to support high intensity, high volume workouts with limited recovery time.


+ Strengthen your kinetic chains – this machine helps you maintain a neutral spine while combining a squat and overhead press to generate a whole-body power movement.

+ Opposite to a free weight, Fluid Force means that any weak points or muscular limitations in an athlete’s range of motion are removed to enable you to train as light or as heavy as you need. With fluid resistance as you accelerate, you increase the resistance of the Fluid Force, putting the user in control to perform continuous peak power training.

+ Suitable for rehabilitation purposes, users can safely train proper and supportive functional neuromuscular patterns.

+ There is no resistance on the way down. Unlike an Olympic lifter who must have the technical skill to manage both the amplitude to throw a weight overhead and its decent, fluid power empowers anybody to go through the same motion safely.

+ Pairs perfectly with Power ErgTM.

+ Squats or reverse lunge

+ Full body squat press or reverse lunge press

+ Traditional overhead press (military press)

+ Overhead squat or reverse lunge - arms extended

(mimics Olympic style training)
